Benefits Portals
You can apply for most senior benefits online today — you do not have to drive to an office. But finding the right website for your state can be confusing. The Medicaid application portal in Texas is completely different from the one in Florida or Ohio. This section lists the official benefits portal for every state, explains what programs you can apply for on that site, and gives tips for getting through the application without getting stuck. If this is your first time applying for any government benefit, start here. Find your state, click the link, and it will take you directly to the right page.
